Joe, did you have the paint mixed darker or adjust the color by pressure and temp? I think if the temp is cooler and spraying pressure lower the metallic settles lower in the paint making it look darker.

I had the paint adjusted. Reason being its a metallic. I want to set the gun to the conditions of paint day so the metallics lay flat and everything flows out. For me its just one less thing to worry about.
